* Since we are not going to get gasoline back to 32CENTS per gallon and coffee to $1.00 per pound maybe this would be a solution we could live with. * * **DIVORCE AGREEMENT** *** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et. al.:
We have stuck together since the late 1940s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a model separation agreement:
1. Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides had such distinct and disparate tastes.
2. We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.
3. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
4. Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military.
5. We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.
6. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
7. We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.
8. You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless homeboys, druggies, and illegal aliens.
9. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, and rednecks.
10. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood ..
11. You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
12. You can have the peace-niks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
13. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
14. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLain. You can also have the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.
15. We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
16. You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors..
17. We'll continue to believe healthcare is an earned luxury and not a right.
18. We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
19. I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya," or "We Are the World".
20. We'll practice trickledown economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
21. Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our constitution and our flag.
22. Would you agree to this? I'll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
P.S.: Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, and Jane Fonda with you.
P.S.S..: And you won't have to "Press 1 for English" when you call our country.
******If you can't stand behind our Military, Please feel free to stand in front of them! ***** Have a nice Day.

We in the south tried something like that back in the 1800's. Caused quite an uproar with many lives lost. Didn't go so well for us even though we killed more of them than they killed of us. Many good boys were lost on both sides in the struggle.

Using one's own creativity is a good thing to contribute...  However, having read this in three different sites already, the creative part sheds its impact. Whatever.  Yesterday we rode 13 Valkyries as a group along the Santa Monica Mountains in So Cal. It was very nice to share a day without talking religion, politics and other non-Valkyrie stuff.  RIDE SAFE

I also liked this the first few times I read it. If something is contributed, and NOT originally yours, at least give credit where it is due. Plagiarism is not a good thing.

This is forthe brain dead. I dug this out of my old email copied exactly as I got it. I did not sign it as mine.
It has been around along time, thought it was apropriate with election coming up.
I have seen outhers post things on here that they did not sign and did not have to tell that it was not theirs, common sence tells that.
So for the ones with brain damage " It is not mine" the rest of you already knew that.
If I decide to post another I will, If it is mine I will sign it. HAVE A GREAT DAY Signed--Lyn Wood

WoodWizard, relax; When one person does it is called "Plagiarism." When a bunch of folks do it, it's called "research." ??? You say, "... (I) thought it was appropriate with election coming up..." Well, elections are indeed coming up.  Whether one agrees with the content of the article ("well thought out" - one opines) I'd say, it is clever too. However, the premise of the writer is not the best vehicle to start a serious political discussion...  Incidentally, I've been brain dead for a while... it just takes a little longer for some folks to realize it...

I'm relaxed Since you seen it on 3 other sites you deemed it unworthy to be on this board and insinuated I was trying to make it my creativity but you need to remember you are not the only one that reads this board. Some others might not have seen it. I have seen jokes on here that people dig out of the humor thread and seen other post I have seen at other sites but I don't mention it because I figure others might not have seen it and besides that I'm not going to make replies that would only insult or embarras someone. 
You have a great day and ride safe.

Since I think you meant me, I guess I'll reply very simply. If I were indeed brain dead, I would not have remembered that I read this same article numerous times in other places. So, I guess I am not brain dead after all. Observant - Yes, brain dead - NO. What prompted my response was the fact that the responses of some of the others seemed to suggest that they were crediting you for the content of the post. No big deal...unless you think so. I guess you still have that same thin skin. Sorry if I riled you up. I guess I'll just stop reading your posts. I won't be missing much since I will have read them somewhere else before anyways.  Sorry, couldn't resist!

Sorry, couldn't resist!  Nope not thin skinned Nope wasn't looking for credit I do not beleive anyone would post somthing on here to try an get credit for it if it is not original, there are to many boards and emails forward, 99.9 percent of stuff on here came from somewhere else. Besides that they is a few first grader tattle tells here.  You sound like a Tattle tail: Sorry, couldn't resist  Sounds like a good idea, not to read my post: Sorry, couldn't resist  Maybe you should be somewhere else anyways: woops sorry again, couldn;t resist  Sorry if I riled you up Have a nice day
